Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and
comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file
samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and
characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by
EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.
This section lists Windows API calls that are used by the samples in this family. Windows API
usage analysis is a valuable tool that can help identify malicious activity, such as keylogging,
security privilege escalation, data encryption, data exfiltration, interference with antivirus software,
and network request manipulation.
